Rack Mounting the Switch
Important! The rack mounting procedure is identical for all modular switches. Illustrations in this chapter depict the
mounting of an unpopulated DCS-7304 chassis.
• Section 3.1 provides instructions for mounting the switch in a two-post rack.
• Section 3.2 provides instructions for mounting the switch in a four-post rack.
After completing the instructions for your rack type, proceed to Chapter 4 .
3.1 Two-Post Rack Mount
To mount the switch to a two-post rack, assemble mounting brackets to the middle of the chassis, then
attach the brackets to the rack.
Important! Two-post rack mount parts are only available through your sales representative. Two-post rack
mounting is not supported for DCS-7316 switches.
The accessory kit includes the following two-post mounting parts:
• 2 center-mount brackets
• 16 (DCS-7304) or 20 (DCS-7308) M4x8 panhead Phillips screws
3.1.1 Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Chassis
Step 1 Orient the switch chassis and the two center-mount brackets ( Figure 3-1 ).
Position the flanges that attach to the rack posts toward the front of the chassis.
Step 2 Attach both center-mount brackets to the chassis with the provided M4x8 panhead Phillips
screws. Secure the bracket by attaching screws through each bracket hole.
3.1.2 Inserting the Switch into the Rack
Step 1 Move the chassis to the rack using a mechanical lift ( Figure 3-2-left ).
If modules are inserted in the chassis, use the lift carefully to avoid damaging any components.
Step 2 Lift the chassis into the rack. Position the flanges against the rack posts ( Figure 3-2-right ).
Step 3 Select mounting screws that fit your equipment rack.
